Ehhh, they're pretty good but still have issues.

1996 and up have a plastic intake manifold that WILL fail. Some of the later models 2000's and up had spark plugs blowing out of the engine, timing chain issues (that were NOT a problem from the 1991-1997 models) axle problems that will prematurely fail, fuel pumps that die around 100K miles (again not a problem on the older models). Blend door actuators like to die which is a dash puller. Heater cores die if regular coolant changes are not kept right on time using distilled water, air bag issues that WILL eventually fail. Cheap plastics that break easily. The last couple of generations ride rougher than full size truck. The list keeps going but I still love my 1995 Town Car even though it's not nearly as durable/reliable as my Japanese vehicles.

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
